"Napa is now nearly hostile towards families. I get it. This is "adult Disneyland". But having found ourselves here with our kids for a marathon, and an hospitality industry was absolutely anything but hospitable to us because we had kids, Charles Krug nailed it. It's a cosy and sophisticated space with a bunch of low production estate wines. Perfect for adults. But they were also soooo accommodating to us with our kids. They found a space for us (at our request) that was somewhat isolated from the adults there so as not to bother them. Then Derek, our host, took our kids (8, 11) on a personal tour of the barrel room - relaying history and knowledge in terms they could understand, so that my wife and I could have some time to ourselves. Just amazing. Thanks Charles Krug for a great experience."
"What a great experience! During our stay in Napa, this was our favorite place. Kris was very helpful and a great host! He was patiently answering all the questions we had and gave us a great tour of the estate. We had the wine & food pairing at the winery and the food was absolutely delicious! We did not expect such good food but we were blown away! The wine was also fabulous and we can highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a special wine experience in Napa!"
"Great wine and love the tour Staff were great and had a vast experience and knowledge"
"This was my second time here using my little book big experience booklet. Last year Peter was our host and was very friendly and awesome he said hello to us this year and said to let him know if we need anything and MJ was our host this year. She was very friendly as well! This is a very nice Winery and is the oldest!"
"I struggle to pay $45 and $50 for tastings, despite that being the new normal, but I can say without a doubt that this one was well worth the $45. I have not felt as cared for or made to feel as special at any other winery. So much so that I happily skirted the tasting fee by becoming a member. The wines are delicious, though definitely on the pricier side. The tasting room is beautiful and there are plenty of outdoor areas for sitting or enjoying one of their many events. I'm definitely looking forward to making this a regular stop when I visit the area."
